Greetings Precious Ones

132.5 today OTHD. Danger food event today. An afternoon party for a friend who is turning 80. Its a pot luck deal and I am bringing nuts which I know they love (and requires minimal effort from me) but there will be lots of goodies and probably none of it protein. I will eat yogurt before I go. Fortunately its specified as 2 to 4 so I can't do too much damage in 2 hours. 

Dogs got walks yesterday. Hadn't done that in awhile. They may get more today as the sun is out and I have no plans to go to studio. 

Didn't sleep well last night. I seem to want to nap after dinner and then can't sleep later. Gotta find a way out of the nap habit. I blame it on having a full tummy plus DH' boring tv. 

Dave can't wait to hear more about your shop and what you make in it. What a great thing to have. Just be careful and don't hurt yourself. 

Definitely Liz do the Jackie O thing. Go walk around a mall where you won't see anyone you know. Assume a fake accent and pretend you are a spy. It would be fun!

Still trying to locate the "I Am Full" song that I posted about yesterday. An anthem for maintainers.

Glad you had a good mirror experience Devon. Remember it when you are having a down moment. I was reading a book about overcoming anxiety and one strategy was to imagine the most beautiful relaxing place you have ever been and then mentally take yourself there whenever you feel uncomfortable. (Of course, the buffet at the Atlantis Casino in Reno does NOT count).

Take care my dears. Remember that hating your body is hating yourself and a big No No. Diane S.

P.S. Dear Carbon I am so sorry for your loss. We will be thinking of you. Hope you get to share memories of your loved one with family.  Diane S.
